"White Boy Rick" is a true story set in the 1980's about a 15-year old Detroit teen who worked undercover for the FBI as a drug dealer. Matthew McConaughey (in an excellent, Oscar-worthy performance) plays the boy's father.
The film is consistently interesting and has excellent 1980's atmosphere. Well worth watching. Richie Merritt is also impressive as the title character.
The one criticism is that Bruce Dern and Piper Laurie are underused.
